摘要： A printer includes: a controller configured to: acquire a plurality of radio wave strengths of a plurality of RFID signals, each RFID signal being from an RFID included in each of a plurality of printing media, set a threshold based on the acquired plurality of the radio wave strengths, and determine whether or not each RFID is normal based its respective radio wave strength and the set threshold.

摘要： A printer that prints each printing medium having an RFID, the printer including: a radio wave strength acquisition unit that acquires radio wave strength from the RFID; and a determine unit that determines whether the RFID is normal or not on the basis of a radio wave strength obtained by the radio wave strength acquisition unit and a threshold.

摘要： The controller executes the first process once and then executes the second process. The first process is a process for back-feeding the continuous body, writing information to the RFID inlet, and then forward-feeding the continuous body until the RFID medium reaches the print start position. The second process is a process for stopping printing on the RFID medium halfway and writing information to the subsequent RFID medium following the RFID medium under printing when the RFID inlet of the subsequent RFID medium reaches the position allowing the communication with the antenna, and then resuming and completing printing on the RFID medium, printing on which was stopped halfway.

摘要： A printer configured to print on a print medium having an RFID includes: a communication unit configured to communicate with the RFID; a controller configured to attempt communication between the RFID and the communication unit while a relative position between the RFID and the communication unit is adjusted, the controller is configured to operate in first and second modes in which the controller attempts the communication at respective first and second pluralities of relative positions between the RFID and the communication unit and determines a radio wave strength at relative positions at which the communication is successful, and identifies an optimum communication position based on the radio wave strength at relative positions at which the communication is successful.

摘要： A printer configured to print on a printing medium having an RFID, comprising a communication unit configured to communicate with the RFID, and a search unit configured to move the communication unit to a position with respect to the RFID to search for a position communicable with the RFID, wherein the search unit determines communication success/failure between the RFID and the communication unit at a plurality of positions with respect to the RFID, and on the basis of a region including a plurality of positions determined as the communication being successful, identifying a communication position between the RFID and the communication unit.
